2024 25 Phantoms AHL Reading Royals Echl NCAA Jrs Intl Etc

Any opinion on a couple local college free agents Vinny Borgesi (Northeastern) and Andrew Centrella ( Providence). Micah Berger (Yale).

If Kaplan has another pedestrian year do you see the Flyers walking away from him?

Borgesi should have been drafted back in 2022. Good IQ, nice skills, good skater. If he was 5'11 I would say he likely had an NHL career ahead of him but doubt any team gives him a real shot... probably a career AHLer/Euro top leaguer. My guess is that if he leaves he gets an AHL deal, but some NHL teams will at least be looking at him.

Centrella is not as talented. But he will probably stay at Providence another year or two. My guess is that he is a guy who ends up in ECHL.

Only seen Berger in USHL really, but my guess is a future ECHL level guy unless really develops in College these next few years, if he does then maybe an AHLer.


I think the Flyers sign Kaplan next summer unless he totally bombs tbh given his physical tools.

Agree as he is a very smart puck moving dman. Doesn’t get himself into trouble. Though just very small; his smarts outweigh that to me. Worth a 7th rd pick no doubt. IMO.

Berger and Centrella def 4 year guys. Can see them both in the AHL. I think they move on from Kaplan unless he pick sit up. Plus wasn’t a Breire pick.

1 more question. Kenny Connors and Nick Van tassel on Umass. I think Connors will be an NHL player.

Not seen much of Connors tbh aside from WJC, as was before my time watching USHL in depth really.

Van Tassell is spoken highly of from the people who know him etc... but dont think he will be more than an ECHLer if things go well for him.

Just curious do you watch/follow any D3 at all?

Will Tyler Muszelik be an NHL goalie? Though it was a reach pick, even though it was a 6th rounder

Nope. Unless specifically asked to which is very rare and would only be if asked for a specific player which has never happened so far.

Tbh I am not a goalie guy so have to watch a lot of a goalie to get a feel for them.
